casper50 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 I worked pretty hard to make sure the body was correct. Have to begin with the best foundation that you can or it will never look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertKB Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Those rear panel windows would be scary. Can't be too many of those around and if you broke one...……………………..I would hear the cursing down in southern Alberta. Love these videos!

casper50 Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) Ebay has them listed for $229 + shipping. Same as a Chevy. I've been able to use all the original 55 Pontiac glass except the two front door windows are broken. Will have to buy new for those.

They do look nice and very well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casper50 Posted December 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Had to have a new windshield shipped up from the lower 48. Cheapest that I could find was $430 shipping. Someone told me about a business 80 miles away that brings their own barges filled with stuff up from Seattle. Got free shipping to Seattle and it cost $45 to ship it up to Homer. A 160 mile round trip and I'll have it in hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I check options for shipping costs ,choosing the cheapest.Fortunately I live close to the Canada/US border and able to have parts shipped to the lower 48 side,short trip for me.. It helps to keep the hobby more affordable.☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
